For eight years, work on the Mayurdhap Industrial Area has been put on hold.
'Mayurdhap Industrial Area' was being built as a substitute for Hetaunda Industrial Area, however the project has been stuck for the past eight years.
The Mayurdhap Industrial Zone, which was established as the cornerstone of the plan to establish one industrial zone in each of the seven provinces, has not yet advanced, according to Lekhraj Bhatt, the then-minister of industry, commerce, and supply.
The government developed the Mayurdhap Industrial Area plan as an alternative to the overcrowded industrial districts in the Kathmandu Valley and the land-limited state of the nation's largest industrial area, Hetaunda. Nonetheless, the Mayurdhap industrial sector's overall progress remains stagnant.
The industrial sector's building has not advanced because of the land in the Parsa National Park area. Following the election, every minister of industry made a visit to this region. Despite their assurances, they have not carried out their promise to fix the issue. During his visit to this region, Industry Minister Damodar Bhandari made a commitment to offer the required coordination and support.
Due to Chure Khare's altered course, a sizable portion of Mayurdhap has remained undeveloped. The butane-covered plain is devoid of large trees. The terrain is level. This region is home to 13 species of reptiles and 50 species of birds. Fourteen of the species found here are classified as endangered on both a national and worldwide scale. of which two are birds, three are reptiles, and nine are mammals. Parsa National Park had previously halted industrial sector operations as a result.
The Federal Government's Ministry of Forests and Environment has had the Mayurdhap file stalled for years. Since the area was inside the park's buffer zone, the ministry declined to approve the work's continuation. Right now, as Mayurdhap's population grows, so does the range of animals and bird species that migrate through the area. Infrastructure development in the industrial area has halted because the EIA was not approved, according to Sangeeta Kunwar, Acting Chief Engineer, Industrial Area Management Office, Hetaunda. "This entire file has been forwarded to the Ministry of Forests for approval of the EIA," she stated. He said that it would be simple to move on with the infrastructure's construction once the report was approved.
Following a number of issues, the cabinet meeting on Baisakh 073 on the 14th resolved to shrink the area and create an industrial zone on 134.86 hectares (199.12 bighas) in Mayurdhap. Additionally, a project office was established by the government on October 5th, 075. This said that the government intended to function inside Mayurdhap Industrial Zone 077. However, the work could not go on since the EIA process could not.
62 industrial plots have been created from the industrial area's land. Seven to fourteen ropanis of land are assigned to each plot. The industrial sector decision made by the government said that the security printing department will receive 250 ropani land. However, the printing company will remain in Kavre, according to the administration.
The Detailed Study Report (DPR) indicates that around 7.2 billion 34 million rupees will be allocated towards the building of infrastructure. The government estimates that the several industries that will be developed in the industrial region will provide direct and indirect employment possibilities for around 20,000 people. Dyes, dairy products, soap, food, plastic, steel, rubber, wire, distillery, pipes, timber goods, textiles, cement, electromechanical workshop, and leather industry have all been suggested as industries for the Mayurdhap industrial region. The establishment of waste management, water treatment, and waste water treatment facilities in industrial regions was suggested.
